Aristotle proposed that all things contain a "golden mean" between insufficiency and surfeit. In other words: You want to choose the porridge that's just right. Choose a TV that's big enough to enjoy without seeming like you're showing off.

re: the LG 42LK550 42", there are exactly 2 reviews on Amazon. One loves it, the other rates it poorly d/t of the operation of the apps, in particular YouTube, which makes it sound like LG wasn't all that "smart" in implementing this feature. Wish there were more comments to be had. I have a smaller LG that's a few years old and is doing fine for us, so I'm intrigued by this TV. I will search on for reviews if I get a chance.

I literally have that EXACT TV (got it at Sam's Club last year). The picture is awesome, the SmartTV functionality is awesome, everything is awesome. Plenty of HDMI inputs. Big enough screen. Great speeds. Rich color. Honestly I can't throw this TV enough props. And mine came with a Free Wi-Fi adapter, so it's a wireless SmartTV to boot with no extra cost for the adapter.

Im not sure if this is a known fact or not, but just a heads up that Square Trade does NOT offer warranties on refurbished TV's anymore.... I just found out while trying to get one for the TV I just purchased here.

Just spoke to Square Trade rep. They just changed their policies on refurbs this week (great timing!). Does any Wooters know where else to go and get coverage on a television? I thought $65 extra bucks for 4 years warranty was pretty awesome through ST. Would like to find something similar...

Square Trade is still selling a 1 year "Open Box" warranty for $45 http://amzn.com/B002QCGLHQ .

But honestly, warranties on TVs are a waste. Just find a repair guy in the phone book and they will usually fix it for about $80-100, No shipping. They just come to your house and fix it on the spot. That's the same as having a warranty that lasts forever and you only need to pay for it when you need it.

Does anyone use one of the wall mounts here? I really want a TV in our bedroom but the ONLY place to put one is to the left, at the foot of the bed on my dresser against the wall and the dresser isn't wide enough to turn a TV more than 27" sideways. I was thinking of using this to mount it above the dresser to pull out and aim at the bed.

We've checked with SquareTrade and you can still purchase SquareTrade warranties for refurbished items that we sell by using the link we provide. You must use our link however. If you decide to purchase the warranty a couple days later, go back to the sale (via Stuff You Bought) and use the link on that page.

I am getting pretty antsy as well. When I bought my desktop from Woot, it shipped on the very last day of the predicted shipping period, and arrived literally at 10:30pm on the final day of the expected arrival period. I was definitely tearing my hair out haha.

The tv was literally shipped out broken, it came with a large dent in the screen and one of the corners had completely broke off. It was not damaged in shipping because the box was unscathed.

We called and emailed LG as the return instructions mentioned and the they never called back. Crappy company. No response from posting on their facebook page either. Luckily we contacted woot and they promptly responded. Professional group those wooters!

Mine, too, is still "awaiting shipping," and given the speed (and I use that term loosely) of Smartpost, I'll be lucky to get it by Christmas. Would have paid more to get quicker, safer shipping, but alas, that did not appear to be an option.

It has been one full week (5 business days) since I placed my order for this TV. The funds have been debited from my account and yet my order is still "awaiting shippment". I contacted Support on Monday, was given a case number and still no response. I'm now out $400+ with no clue when my product will arrive. Judging by the threads above the outcome looks grim.
